When the play ended everyone started to clap as the actors one on one got on stage to bow when Mari got on stage everyone in the theater stood up and clapped for her including Adrien. This continued even after the actors left the stage.
When Mari was heading to her dressing room she was stopped by the paparazzi and she answered all the questions she could before she found a way to escape and headed to her dressing room. She suddenly stops though when she sees Adrien standing against a wall near her dressing room and they locked eyes for a long time.
"Mari." Adrien said with a smile.
"It's quiet in the house." Audrey stated as Natalie served her dinner.
"Maya like always is playing in the artic and Mr. Adrien as well as Miss. Ruby went out." Natalie replied.
"I don't understand why Maya wastes her time up there all day what could she possibly be doing?" Audrey said sternly.
"She has always liked to play with the things up there and with Teddy." Natalie replied.
"And Adrien probably went to the prison to visit his saint girlfriend the murderer." Audrey said sarcastically.
"I don't think so Mrs. Dr. Agreste went to the theater with his friend Mr. Couffaine the one staying at the house." Natalie replied.
"The theater? Since when does Adrien like the theater I don't remember him ever going to the theater with my daughter Chloe." Audrey stated.
"He went to see the play Romeo and Juliet and the protagonist is Mari." Natalie replied.
"You know even though we bumped into each other the other day it seems like we haven't seen each other in so long. It was excidly a year ago but it feels like it has been for many years. Well that's how I feel anyway I don't know if you feel the same way." Adrien stated.
"Why are you here?" Mari asked.
"I came to see you." Adrien replied.
"More like you came to see the actress but right now the actress can't see you because she's very tired." Mari said before starting to walk away.
"No wait." Adrien replied stoping her.
"I'm sorry for how I'm behaving but you know how I am." Mari said pushing Adrien aside and walked in her dressing room.
"Look at all the flowers that were sent to you." Marlena said once Mari entered the room. "Let me congratulate you on an incredible night you were amazing and all the claps that were given to you-" Marlena noticed the sad look on Mari's face. "What's wrong why are you so sad when you should be happy."
Mari takes a deep breath. "Adrien is here Marlena. In the hallway."
"Dr. Agreste came and you said that he's right outside the door?" Marlena asked heading to the door.
"Marlena don't-" Mari facepalm as Marlena leaves the room.
Marlena looks around the hallway but she didn't see Adrien so she goes back in the dressing room. "He's not there."
"Than he already left...but when I was coming he was there and he started to talk about the past." Mari said a bit altered.
"Does that really affect you?" Marlena asked.
"Yes I haven't seen him since I bumped into him in the streets." Mari replied. "I thought that I wouldn't see him again but he suddenly appeared when I least expected it."
"He probably saw the announcement for the play and even though you have a stage name he most likely recognized you." Marlena stated. "And he came to see you like everyone else."
"You're right I shouldn't be sad." Mari replied before looking around. "Wow these are a lot of flowers let's see who they are from." Mari reads a note. "These are from Roland and these are from- awe thanks Marlena." Mari hugs her before going to the biggest banquet of flowers. "And these are from-" Mari heart stopped when she read the note.
"Mari looked so beautiful tonight." Adrien said to himself as he walked in his house. "But she changed she's more of a woman more firm. I wasn't expecting her to receive me with yells of happiness but I wasn't expecting her to be so cold with me either."
"What are they them from Adrien?" Marlena asked Mari.
"I wish you a lot of luck love your mother." Mari read outloud still in shock.
"Your mom remembered. She found out you would be in the play and she wanted to be present." Marlena said with a smile knowing who Mari's mom was.
"Is she mentioned anywhere?" Isabella asked Lila as they were having breakfast the next day.
"Yup." Lila said irritated as she turned of her phone. "Glory and praise for the street rat."
"I'm not going to read anything if she's being talked about in a good light. Why would I ruin my day." Isabella stated.
"The critics for theater are idiots." Lila replied.
"I don't doubt that the director would pay them to talk good about the street rat so the theater would be full every night." Isabella stated.
Lila laughed. "As if Roland would give out money in your dreams. They say that she's a fallen star that she's an angel."
"I don't see anything angel in her." Isabella stated. "Hay could my dear friend Sabine woken up today?"
"I have no idea the last that I heard last night was that she was ill but alive." Lila replied.
"Do you want more coffee sir?" Natalie asked Adrien.
"Yes please Natalie." Adrien noticed the note in her hands. "Who's the note for?"
"Its for Mr. Couffaine." Natalie replied.
"Where is Luka I haven't see him?" Adrien asked.
"He's still asleep." Natalie replied before handing the note to Adrien and walked away.
"Weird Luka is a morning person." Adrien looks at his phone and saw an article about Mari. "A true star is born."
"Why don't you call the hospital and see if Sabine is alive or not." Isabella suggested.
"No I'll go to the hospital I need to seem like the perfect daughter that worries about her." Lila replied.
"It would be great if she died because even though Mari ever found out that Tom was her father he can't even mention her name so she would be out from your life and his." Isabella stated.
"By the way do you think that Viperion Luka Couffaine got my note yet?" Lila asked.
"Well first I think that it was a good thing that you didn't talk to him over the phone and by now he should have gotten it." Isabella stated.
"It must be from Juleka." Luka said to Adrien as he opened the note. "...No it's not from Juleka...the person you are looking for is located here...and there's an address...the person I'm looking for is Iris ...I'm being indicated in where to find her. After almost losing hope I might have finally found her." Luka said happily.
"But who sent you that note?" Adrien asked.
"It doesn't say." Luka replied. "But it doesn't matter what I'm interested in is on what it says. I now know where I can find Iris."
Sabine slowly opened her eyes and saw Lila standing next to her bed. "Lila..."
"Dad left you alone?" Lila asked.
"He went to rest since I begged him too." Sabine replied.
Lila nodded. "Yesterday when I called I was told that you were very-"
"Very ill yes but I guess it was a miracle because I woke up much better today." Sabine replied. "The doctors are amazed."
"Good I'm glad." Lila stated with a fake smile.
"Hay Lila Mari debuted in the theater yesterday do you know how it went did she succeed?" Sabine asked.
"Yes it seems like it." Lila replied.
"Thank goodness." Sabine stated happily.
"Don't you think that its strange Luka that you got an anyomious note? Who could have sent it?" Adrien asked.
"I have no idea maybe it was Simon a man Iris is close to he's like her father." Luka replied. "I'm not going to waste any time I'm going to look for her right now."
"Wait couldn't it be a bad joke?" Adrien asked.
"I hope not and something in my heart tells me that I'm closer to finding her. Doesn't hurt to try." Luka replied.
"Do you know how to get to that address?" Adrien asked. Luka thought about it before shaking his head no. "I'll take you there than." Luka nodded smiling before they both left the house.
"Mari needs to succeed in everything she puts her heart into. She's so pure and humble." Sabine added.
"She's thought about as a fallen star and as an angel." Lila stated hiding her irritation. "I'm glad for you because I know how much you care about her just like how I care about you. All I want is for you to be better and happy."
"Thank you Lila this news gives me more desire to keep on living for her my daughter." Sabine replied.
"Look at everything being said about you." Fu said happily looking at all the articles and news about Mari. "You became famous overnight."
"I know they call me a fallen star and an angel." Mari replied.
Fu smiled. "Who would think that you would become famous. It's hard to believe by how I found you crying next to a door like a lost puppy looking for a home. Imagine how those people that said that you were a street rat a thief a nobody a good for nothing will react when seeing this. Like Lila and her aunt and Judge Dupain and Audrey."
"The number should be here close." Luka said walking though the hallways of Mari's apartment complex. "Could I finally find Iris?"
"I still think that it's a joke." Adrien stated walking by him.
"We'll find that out soon." Luka replied.
"Everyone must be in rage seeing what you have become. Well everyone but your mother look at the flowers she gave you." Fu stated also knowing who Mari's mom was.
"They're pretty but if she thinks that I'll forgive her because she sent me flowers than shes wrong. " Mari replied. "That's why I don't want to know who she is."
"That's what I wanted for you to be happy by knowing that Mari is doing well." Lila stated and at that moment Tom walked in the room. "Dad look she's getting better."
"I'm glad Sabine. You can't imagine how happy I am in seeing you getting better." Tom said with a smile.
"Lila brought me good news." Sabine replied. "Mari succeed in her debute at the theater."
Tom's smile fades. "So that's why you're better?"
Mari picked up Adrienne in her arms and there was suddenly a knock on the door. "I'll open it." Fu said going to the door. When he opened the door he was surprised to see Luka and Adrien standing there.
"Simon." Luka said happily seeing Fu before quickly going in. Adrien however walked in slowly in the room surprised to see Fu. When Luka saw Mari he quickly hugged her. "I finally found you Iris!" Mari was going to say something when her heart stopped seeing Adrien walking up to them from behind Luka.
"My goodness." Fu mumbled from beside Adrien.
"Was it you who sent me the note of where to find Iris?" Luka asked Fu showing him the note.
"No I didn't don't involve me in this mess." Fu replied.
"Iris I was looking for you everywhere like crazy. Why did you run away from me? Why did you leave me like that? I returned that day thinking that I would find you waiting for me for our marriage. You have no idea how surprised I was to come back and know you left. Why Iris why?" Luka asked sadly.
"Mari has always harmed her in a way. I know what she'll do after leaving the hospital contact her daughter." Tom told Lila as they were eating lunch in the hospital's cafeteria. "I don't want to know anything about Mari now more than ever so don't talk to me about her."
"Did I do something to deserve for you to behave like that?" Luka continued to ask questions as everyone else in the room stayed quiet. "I need an explanation Iris I came after you because I couldn't stand your absence. You left without even saying goodbye. I wanted you to look me in the eye and tell me what happened why you ran off. You're going to tell me because that's why I have been looking for you to know. Since I got to Paris I have gone one way and another desperately hoping to see your face on every woman that I passed. Right now I'm living in the house of my best friend Adrien." Luka gestures to Adrien. "He can tell you of my desperation and rage. Don't stay quiet Iris talk what happened to you. I couldn't even think of a betrayal by you. Why did you leave for who? Is there another man between us?"
"Since she appeared it has been a punishment for Sabine and I. I would prefer that you were our daughter Lila and not that theif who went to my house at the wrong time. I was calm because we haven't known about her for a long time but now she appears as an actress and I can't do anything about it." Tom added.
"Don't worry dad something will happen so she doesn't interfere in your life again." Lila replied.
"Answer me Iris did you leave me for another man?" Luka asked.
"I can't tell you anything Luka." Mari said in tears she has been crying softly since Luka said that Adrien was his best friend. Still holding Adrienne she starts to walk away to her room but Luka hold her arm gently. "Please let me go." Mari freed herself and walks away quickly.
"Why doesn't she answer my questions Simon?" Luka asked Fu.
"Because she's very altered right now please leave Viperion and you too." Fu said looking over at Adrien. They didn't have a choice and Adrien with Luka left the apartment.
"A fallen star has risen." Audrey said outloud reading an article about Mari. "Reporters are idiots. Violet Ladybug was a success and it's the street rat anyone can be an actress these days. Adrien was probably with her yesterday."
Mari was bursting in tears in her room and when Fu entered she hugged him. "There there dear they're gone." Fu said softly.
Mari breaks the hug. "They're best friends Fu. Luka is living in Adrien's house."
"You thought that they could know each other because they are both doctors that's why we changed our names in case they knew each other so we wouldn't be discovered remember." Fu stated.
"I wanted to find Iris so she could explain why she left the ranch when I find her she doesn't say anything and I leave from where I started or even worst." Luka said frustrated as he and Adrien where leaving the apartment complex. "By the way what's up with you you haven't said a single word since we got in the apartment."
"I just don't have anything to say." Adrien replied.
"What will happen in the trail today...I want to save myself if I do I'll be saving Adrien...it would be unfair to drag him down with me...if I could just prove that Ryuuko started years ago and been living independently without my consent." Kagami said to herself. "The judge would be convinced that this isn't fake...Luka...Luka...Luka."
"I shouldn't have left without an explanation from Iris but it doesn't matter I know where she is and I'll go back to see her." Luka stated as he and Adrien sat on a bench.
"Luka...what was he to Ryuuko...why is it the only name I remember...who was he...if only I could find him." Kagami added.
Mike walked to her cell. "The interrogation for today is about to start. Natalie is going to declare today."
"Is Adrien here?" Kagami asked.
"I haven't seen him and it's strange because he's always here during interrogation days" Mike replied.
"She woke up better the doctors are even amazed." Lila told Isabella as they were in the spa.
"What could have happened she was in the edge of dying." Isabella stated "Sabine really is lucky. She spends all the money that she wants and has a husband that adores her."
"Yes but she has a daughter that rejects her and the father hates her daughter." Lila replied before she saw Adrien and Luka outside on a bench from the window. "Look who's there."
"My feeling about Adrien knowing Luka was right they're best friends...and Adrien saw Adrienne! I just hope he was to shocked to see me to notice her." Mari said worriedly.
"It's Adrien and Luka Couffaine the so called Viperion." Lila added. "Look at Adrien's face he seems stressed out. Can you imagine the bomb that will explode when the note is read?"
"And who told you that it hasn't exploded already?" Isabella asked with a small laugh.
Roland walked in Mari's room with his wolf. "How is my favorite star doing?"
"Where did you get that dog?" Mari asked.
"It's not a dog it's a wolf." Roland replied.
"What's wrong with you Roland?" Mari asked quickly picking Adrienne up from her basket.
"I'm assuming you are very happy it was a great success." Roland stated but than saw Mari's face. "What's wrong with you why aren't you happy."
"Adrien and Viperion were here?" Mari replied.
"Iris and Mari are the same person. The woman that was my wife and the woman Luka was going to marry. The woman we both talked about with full of love pain and desperation is the same. Mari never told him about me she even put a different name. When we were in front of her she pretended to not know me. She preferred to hide than Luka knowing the truth." Adrien said outloud when he was alone in his room than realization hit him and he quickly stood up. "Luka said she was pregnant...Luka said that Mari was expecting a baby...and she was holding a baby girl."
"And what happened?" Roland asked Mari.
"Adrien stayed quiet like me he didn't say a single word while Luka complimented and demanded explanations." Mari replied.
"Viperion doesn't have the right to demand you anything he nor Adrien have anything to do with you anymore." Roland stated. "You don't belong to anyone your only owner is the art."
Adrien knocked on Luka's bedroom door before walking in when he heard Luka say come in. "Luka I need to ask you something...about Iris."
Luka nodded. "Sure what is it?"
"You once said that Iris had a baby was it born?"
Luka smiled. "Of course it was I received it. It was a baby girl she was holding her earlier didn't you notice?"
"What's her name?" Adrien asked.
"Well she doesn't have a last name because of what I told you about Iris's ex husband I was going to give her my last name after marrying Iris but Iris named her Adrienne Emma." Luka replied.
Later that day Fu went to Mari's room. "Dear he's back." Fu stated.
"Who Viperion?" Mari asked.
"No Adrien Agreste." Fu replied. "He's waiting for you in the living room."
"Really?" Mari asked nervously. "Tell him I can't see him tell him to leave and to never come back."
Fu nodded and went to the living room. "Mari said that she won't see you."
"Well tell her that I won't leave until I talk to her." Adrien replied.
"She doesn't want to and I won't force her." Fu stated.
"Well if she doesn't come than I'll go see her." Adrien replied.
"You don't have to." Mari said walking up to them. "I'm here." Fu left them alone.
"Yesterday you slammed the door on me but I won't give you that privilege today." Adrien stated. "Who does this apartment belong to?"
"My director Roland." Mari replied.
"Director?" No Mari you don't need one you're a great actress on stage and in real life." Adrien stated. "We won't talk about what happened between us but what you did to Luka is unforgivable. You hid in his ranch you lied to him you give him a fake name you made him believe that you loved him and would marry him and when you wanted to you ran off."
"Are you here to defend your friend because I think he should've been the one to come." Mari replied.
"No I'm here to throw all your lies in your face because you're being the same liar as always but overall Mari I'm here to see my daughter Adrienne." Adrien said sternly.
